Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J an, 1922.

Application filed January 26, 192 0. Serial 1T0. 354,193.

To all whom it may concern:

, Be it known that I, CLARENCE H. MILLS, a citizen of the United States, residin at Albany, in the county of Albany and tate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portfolios; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to portfolios.

7 An object of this invention is to provide a portfolio in which a high grade linen paper together with envelopes therefor can be conveniently carried about and to provide a portfolio of attractive appearance of simple and compact structure and one which is uickly and easily manufactured.

ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, the combination, the detail, and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed; r

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective of m portfolio.

Figure 2 is a section at 22, igure 1.

Figure 3-is a fragmentary perspective of one of the double leaves.

In the embodiment of this invention, there is provided a cover 2, which is preferably of pliant cover paper, and to which is pasted a flapless envelope 3, and upon which are stapled as at 4 a plurality of high grade double linen sheets of writing paper 5. These sheets are perforated at 6.

Thus by this simple construction there is provided by the perforating of the ordinary ouble linen sheets and affixing them'to the cover in the manner herein described a portfolio which serves the purpose much better the box method of carrying envelopes and paper and there is also provided an article of manufacture which can be simply, quickly and inexpensively made. Between the sheets 5 and the cover 2 there is inserted a blotting sheet 7 which provides for the writing from either end of the tablet.

I claim:

The combination with a cover member having a pocket formed upon the interior of one of the side'portions of the cover, of a plurality of writing sheets folded on a central line, secured together and to the central portion of the cover member, said writing sheets being perforated at each side of the center and a blotting sheet of substantially the same shape and size as the cover and writing sheets interposed between the writ-' ing sheets and cover portions, said blotting sheet being folded centrally whereby each side thereof will be disposed between one side of the cover and the outermost sheet of writing paper.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

CLARENCE H. MILLS.
